Using the XL Release Remoting plugin

The XL Release Remoting plugin allows you to configure Unix and Windows hosts in XL Release, so that other plugins can execute commands on and transfer files to those hosts. For example, the XL Release Ansible, Kubernetes, and Docker Compose plugins all leverage the Remoting plugin.

Features

Allow SSH jumpstations and HTTP proxies to be used to access hosts to which a direct network connection is not possible (CIFS, Telnet and WinRM can be tunneled through an SSH jumpstation as well)

Implements all connection methods internally in XL Deploy or XL Release, so no external dependencies are required (an exception is the WINRM_NATIVE connection type, which uses the Windows winrs command)
